Cuffs on Suit Pants - no break?

If i'm cuffing flat front suit trousers, should I have no break? Going to go to the tailor in the coming days and wondering. You see a lot of Thom Browne, Tom Ford, etc with no break. Should I have a slight break?

Would love to see some photos of you all and your cuffed trousers, or your opinion.

Finally, still trying to decide which suit to keep - RL Black Label or Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald. If i'm into more of a trad (i hate using that word) look, but still fitted, is RL the wrong way to go? Should i keep brooks? Only thing that i don't like about the Brooks is that the chest pocket on the jacket is a bit low (for reference, i'm 6 foot and 145lbs).

And the higher the hem, and the less break (or no break) the narrower the pant leg needs to be, and vice versa. So it's not just as simple as deciding "break or no break". More billowy trousers that would look great with a solid break could look a little off if they hung straight and you were walking. At least this has been my experience.

No break or higher (negative break?) is a specific look that you need to be comfortable with. I can't do it, myself. It reminds me of middle school when I grew about six inches in a year and my pants never fit me.

If you mean cuff, then this is up in the air and completely in your court. There is a SF meme that favors 2" cuffs. I always specify 1 1/2". Looks best to my eye. Any time I hear "that's what they're doing now" I get a rash.

I'd go with a half-break. No break only works with fitted and tapered pants in my opinion, and even then it's not always a winner. I'd say that it's run-way look that doesn't carry over well to real-life.

With so much discussion on this forum about trouser break, I'm surprised that more folk don't mention the once-standard tailoring trick of the slanted cuff. Almost all my nicest vintage 30s cuffed trousers have bottoms with around a .5" difference between front and back. (a technique which now tends to be relegated to the occasional hemmed pantleg). It allows for comfortable ankle coverage without the inelegantly large break that comes usually comes with it.

You see this work again and again in old photos and movies. Don't let any tailor tell you it isn't possible!
